vm dumps ALL servers the donkey knows to the console. the port is
included... I'm not so sure if it is a good idea to dump 400-800 servers to the
console each time the sig is updated. we should probably implement the
upload on demand (ie server change) first and use that. if the servers have
to be loaded anyway I could dump them to html as well ;)

I have thought of many solutions to this problem.
I think the users will be pissed off when their console is spamming 800
servers :)
Also the edit control doesn't seem to be able to hold all the output.
Checking the server.met file won't do either, because it only gets saved
when Edonkey exits.
The best solution I have thought of for now, is to use netstat to look up
the information. If this can be done without a DOS-prompt opening up, I
think it is a reasonable solution, but it might not be easily portable.

what is netstat? and using the server.met to get some of the ports would
be better than nothing. people who download server.met before starting
the donkey would have most ports then - at least in the beginning ;)

netstat is a command line tool that reports all current connections with
IP and port. When lookin up a server IP in the output it seems we can
get a pretty reliable port. But I'm not sure if that tool is part of a normal
XP or 2000 installation, or if the output is the same - you tell me.
You're right getting a port some of the time is better than not getting it at
all. If the netstat solution isn't viable we can use the server.met or
perhaps a combination of both.

it's part of xp and works fine. parsing the output should be pretty easy too.
hiding its use from the user could be tricky though... :)

Searching in the server.met is posible. i have found an
program that check the servers from the server met and
rebuilt it... it is written in c but there is the source in it the
server met loading is done...

this can be used to write an phars routine for delphi that give
the programm the abiliti to get the port... and other infos...

The netstat option is viable.
I've got Delphi code to use the windows DLL version of it to
pull the information straight into Delphi (a TList I believe, but I
could be wrong, it's been a while since I used it)....
Then you can just go through each item in the list searching
for the IP you got from eDonkey. Store that record in an
array and pull the remote port.
The code works well, although I'll have to hunt it out. I used it
on a Netmeeting Call Monitor I wrote a coupla years ago
(basically to try and hunt down the users calling you in
Netmeeting through IRC, show you the IP of people calling
you in case you get disconnected and need to call them
back, etc.. essentially the Netmeeting equivalent of caller ID).
So yeah, the netstat Delphi source works well, so I'll hunt it
out for ya.

In my local development version I've implemented the Netstat
solution by using the command line application, and
redirecting its output to Delphi. It works fine.
But using a dll for it would be much easier and more elegant.
If you can find a reference for that dll in the Windows SDK or
whatever that would be great.

Soon as I find the netstat code, I'll let you know. As far as
I'm aware it's GPL. If not, it'll give you a good enough
understanding of the API for netstat that something could be
written from scratch :)
